Cutest

Name: Lucy
Breed: Beagle Terrier Mix
Fun Fact: “Lucy is a 3 year old Beagle Terrier mix I recieved from Barcs animal
shelter. I hung out with her for Dogs Day Out and fell in love. I went back the next day to adopt her and a lady beat me to it but when Lucy saw me she ran straight up and required me to pet her. The woman who adopted her felt that the best place for Lucy was with me and my family. So… she gave her to us. I was so surprised I cried and hug her. I knew it was meant to be and so did Lucy. Now she sleep on the sofa and requires pets daily 😊❤.”
